Introducing: The New Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer, Now With Chromalight Display, Updated Hands, A
With habitual punctuality, Rolex unveiled their entire 2016 lineup on Press Day at exactly 12 p.m. As ever, it features many of the company’s classic models, updated with novel features. However, they also introduced some big surprises, such as a stainless steel Daytona with black ceramic bezel and an Oyster Perpetual Explorer with Chomalight display. 1 OF 3 The watch pictured above here is not a customized Rolex. Far from it. It's the latest Explorer which now comes with a new luminescent material inside the model’s familiar 3, 6, and 9 numerals as well as in the hour markers. Called Chromalight, this exclusive material emits an intense blue glow, which increases the legibility of the dial significantly in low light conditions. 2 OF 3 Rolex has also revisited the hour and minute hands.

Visited Boston AD today
Hi went by Shreve Crump and Low in Boston today. First let me say all the guys that work there are super cool, super knowledgeable and awesome. Truly felt welcome they are all passionate about watches and even invited me to their inaugural get together they are having Wed from 5-7pm. Very glad to have met everyone there. Tried on a bunch of AP, a nice Roger Dubuis and then a couple A. Lange Sohn. Here are a couple pics from my visit.

Royal Oak Leo Messi Popularity
Hey,Got myself a leo messi some months back and am loving it.But am a bit curious about what others think of the watch and how popular it is/value retention cos i notice from forum posts that most of the hype is about the offshore models and standard royal oaks.

Nautilus strap warning
This is for those who want to order straps for Nautiluses but not from Patek, Nautilus straps have a special titanium construction, otherwise a strap without it will fall off, so the strap maker needs to destroy an original Patek strap, 490 euros, to take out the titanium construction and make a new strap with it, I went to see ABP, they told me it's hard to make so 640 euros, didn't do it as 640 plus 490 was a bit too much, will see when one of my straps is dead, but don't make a strap without the titanium piece inside, your watch will fall, a strap maker who is not honest or who has poor knowledge of Patek might say nothing or say it will be ok, I was at ABP and asked Patek and the answer is don't ever put a strap on it without this metal part, you will regret it��Here are a few pics of the straps, you see it's not just leather��P1000835.JPGP1000834.JPGP1000833.JPG
